Chicken Corn Chowder

It finally snowed in my area of Virginia. Snow gets tiresome if it comes too often but it’s nice to have some at least once a year. We love soup any time of the year and it’s particularly nice on a cold and snowy evening. I first made Chicken Corn Chowder in December of 2002 and have been making it regularly every since.

Are you wondering how I know when I first made Chicken Corn Chowder? When I clip a recipe from a magazine or print one, I date it after I’ve made it. Winners get added to recipe binders which act as my cookbooks when I plan meals.

Mushrooms, chicken, corn, and orzo make a delicious combination for this soup. It is thickened after cooking with milk and flour. This recipe definitely gets a thumbs up at my house.

Ingredients

1 T butter

1 (8 oz) package sliced fresh mushrooms

1 medium onion, chopped

2 (14 1/2 oz) cans chicken broth

1 (16 oz) package frozen corn

2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast

1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup uncooked orzo

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1 T sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 cup milk (I used 2 %)

2 T all-purpose flour

Instructions

Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; ad mushrooms and onion, and saute 5 minutes or until tender.

Add chicken broth and next 9 ingredients; simmer 10 minutes or until orzo is tender.

Stir together milk and flour in a small bowl; gradually stir into chowder, and simmer 5 minutes.

The beautiful soup bowl that I’m using to serve Chicken Corn Chowder is one from a set that my friend Beth at school gave me. The pattern is Condoro by Noritake. These beauties were headed to Goodwill but Beth asked me if I wanted them before taking them there. This dish-a-holic said yes in a New York minute! Isn’t this a pretty pattern?

There’s still a month of winter left and I’m sure to make Chicken Corn Chowder a few more times. If you are looking for a recipe to add to your meal plan, I encourage you to give this one a try.

That looks really amazing. I’m a sucker for soups and chowders. I might even get my hubby to eat this. He likes everything in it. Your bowl is really pretty too. Such a nice friend you have, lucky girl.

Made the chowder tonight for dinner. It was great! The only thing I did differently was simmer it for about an hour because I had plenty of time. I imagine it’s going to be even better after it sits overnight. Thanks for posting this recipe! It’s definitely a keeper!

Paula, this chowder looks so delicious. I definitely want to try it. Thanks so much for linking up with our Something To Talk About Link Party and I hope you join us again tomorrow morning. have a great week, Lisa at Concord Cottage
